I am not a fan of changing divisions each year.

Kelly thread sure has picked up the past few hours. I bet he goes for like $5. I'm sure someone needs a nice bullpen arm.

It's been a few days so here's an update about the on-going auction:

-- As a league, there are 394 MLB spots filled out of 500. Currently there are 28 open bids which means only 78 more players may be posted.
-- Jeff, Ralph, & Chris currently are full while Tony has one more spot to fill and 3 other teams have two left.
-- Paul has 14 remaining spots to fill while Bert & Mike have 12 spots to fill.
-- The league as a whole has $306.10 salary available.

I purposely used owner names instead of teams this way people have to match up the names and teams if they don't already know how they match.

Division Winners do not get a bye. Division Winners automatically make the playoffs. Schedules are made random by Yahoo.

Everybody plays everyone once and you'll play 2 teams twice

Is that something that could be changed in the future?

Playoffs start week 22. There are 5 teams in a division. So the problem is which team plays which?
